Antique people applied brass to make this kind of musical instruments and that is why the name “brass” appeared and is still used nowadays. Copper and silver are broadly used in making of brass instruments nowadays. And some musical instruments with the same method of sound production were made from timber in the Middle Ages. Modern brass instruments consist of French horn, tuba, cornet, trombone, trumpet and flugelhorn.
Ancient peoples created a technique of blowing horns and shells from the very first steps of civilization. Later on people decided to do special instruments of metal that were similar to horns. Those musical instruments were intended for martial, hunting and religious goals.
Hunting bugles, military horns and postal pipes were the predecessors of contemporary brass instruments. Such instruments might only play natural scale sounds because at those times there weren't valve mechanisms in them. Timbres of sounds were changed with the assistance of the lips of a player. At those centuries also fanfares and other signals of hunting and martial purposes appeared. They were founded on the natural scale and solidly settled in musical practice.
When a proficiency of metal working and metal products producing became better, it became feasible to make pipes for wind instruments of definite sizes and finishing. Also people created the notion of natural instruments. It occurred due to the development of brass instruments and the improvement of different natural scales playing. Natural scale was the basic scale of those musical instruments because at those centuries people didn't invent valve mechanism yet. Different guilds of piper gathered at that time. There were 2 types of them: martial pipers and chamber trumpeters that performed heavy parts in hard high register.
At the beginning of the XIX century was created valve gear. This invention heightened the possibility of scales and the technique of playing also transformed. An additional crown was placed in the basic tube, it increased the dimension of a musical instrument and lowered its pitch.
